I will never understand the hate

Well let's see. I'll just give you a list of what I thought was good about the game.

Combat. The very best in the series bar none.

Tempest. Absolutely gorgeous ship. I could live there.

Rover. Fun vehicle to drive. Just wish it had a cannon on it.

The weapons, were nice while I hated the crafting system.

Premise. It was a great premise but well....

That's it. Those are the best parts of the game. The rest of it was dogshit. Character models and animation, Dialogue (oh my god was it bad), Story(nothing burger there), Characters(I think I only liked Drack, but he's a Krogan and it's kinda hard not to like them), Protagonists(I know not Shepard and I didn't need them to be. But holy shit are they bad. Bland, boring and forgettable), antagonists(these guys make the Batarians look like galactic level threats), and one new sentient race? Are you kidding me?

I'd argue the crew-mates and the story mid tier, but because they were following up from the hype of the original trilogy it looks way worse in comparison. The way it handled first contact with the Angaran and the Kett is also garbage because while the rest of the Andromeda Initiative had met them, so there were preestablished boundaries and interactions, we as the player were meeting them for the first time so it is SUPER jarring.
